Not a comic but close

I read online where someone is thinking of making a movie about William Gaines, the guy who did MAD magazine.

You know, I might see that.

I used to read MAD when I was a kid, and although I wouldn't have considered it a comic book (too large, not in color) I put it in something near the same category. It was, in my young opinion, far superior to Cracked and other similar magazines. There were sections I liked (the TV or movie parodies, the Don Martin cartoons) and sections I didn't care for (Spy vs. Spy) but to a kid, it felt like a good value for the money. I didn't keep it as I kept my comic books--MAD was disposable entertainment to me--but I shared it with my brother, and he may have a few old issues around, I have no idea.

I haven't read it in years and have no interest in doing so. The kids have never shown any interest in it whatsoever.

But it's certainly a piece of the past that has some nostalgia value, and if they make the movie, I will eventually rent the DVD.
